sorry to hear that Boggy.
perhaps you could do what I am doing: instead of having a whole bunch of tanks, perhaps have only one or two, but make them big if possible?
seems like a good compromise - you can still keep something, even if its not to the level you once had.
I know the feeling. I am going from 8 tanks to 2...
best of luck. try and convice Mom and Dad that fishkeeping is a passion in life and you will be lost without it.
I know I would be..
